I seem to have this problem where I don't have a problem getting to know people to a certain degree but once it reaches a certain point one of two things happen, I ethier get scared or thier negative personality traits glare at me and I can't ignore it. I'm not perfect so I imagine I have my own negative traits so I feel bad because I try to convey positivity and amplify the positive traits in other people but I always end up isolating myself in the long run.
But, for the past two or so years there has been ONE person I almost never say no to for anything and if I do I feel bad for it...thing is I still hold back and always feel uncomfortable

Well I gave up on trying to make friends ages ago. I couldn't even BE one. Anyway, who is this one person? He or she may be the kind of controlling, narcissistic, psychopathic demons you're supposed to avoid...

Trust has a lot to do wiht letting people know who or what you are - its hard to trust if things in your past have taught you that there is no reason to trust.
Seeing others faults - to me - would just be an excuse to break off the friendshhip before they got too close - a defense mechanism - one i used for many years - areyou seeing anyone for help wiht this?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
